speaking of which, have you seen this? ROTFL. ragingbull.lycos.com By: ragingAaron $$$$$ 15 Nov 2002, 10:44 AM EST Msg. 181225 of 181225 To Everyone on the AZNT Board: For Business reasons, will we no longer be accepting new posts on the AZNT message board. This will NOT affect any other boards. ragingbull.lycos.com By: ragingAaron $$$$$ 15 Nov 2002, 12:02 PM EST Msg. 18791 of 18821 (This msg. is a reply to 18789 by ad_rem.) ad_rem - Re:"AZNT" AZNT is a single case situation. It was a decision made by myself and members of my team. The basic situation is this. We currently have a support issue. The AZNT board was our single highest producer of TOS complaints - dwarfing our other volume. The company no longer trades, and in dealing with this board - our CS team was unable to attend to other issues. Therefore, we have halted posting on the board. This MAY or may not be temporary -depending on the impact of our TOS volume. Closing down a board was not a simple choice. However, right now – tough choices need to be made for the betterment of the entire community. Unfortunately – your board was the one affected. It sucks – but its reality. Aaron We apologize for the inconvenience, Aaron Product Manager Raging Bull, My Finance ragingbull.lycos.com By: ad_rem 15 Nov 2002, 12:14 PM EST Msg. 18794 of 18821 (This msg. is a reply to 18791 by ragingAaron.) You have that right Aaron - it "sucks". Your "business reasons" don't make sense either. You are bowing to pressure from the same people who call you to get their critics suspended. You comply with everything they ask you to do. You are getting personally involved and your bias is showing. At the same time you ignore TOS violations reported in the usual way, and by email, asking you to remove personal information posted by the same people who seem to have undue influence on you. You know who they are, and you also know why. So, I suppose you will now suspend me - for "business reasons". ragingbull.lycos.com By: nazz_t0 15 Nov 2002, 12:21 PM EST Msg. 18797 of 18822 (This msg. is a reply to 18794 by ad_rem.) RE AZNT "bidness reasons", Aaron you know those ToS you speak of come from 2 or 3 people in Chicago who are trying to control the content of your site and threads through bombarding you guys with this nonsense. The 2 or 3 people have multiple accounts and If you ask me it would be better to track them down and ban them from RB as opposed to alienate a large number of users. ragingbull.lycos.com By: nazz_t0 15 Nov 2002, 12:23 PM EST Msg. 18799 of 18823 (This msg. is a reply to 18797 by nazz_t0.) Aarron do the right thing, Your competitor SI found a way to ban them and actually the users applauded that action which eliminated these thugs.
